«... ese mayo de locos que termina esta noche, un clavo ardiente hecho de comunicados rimbombantes y titulares grandilocuentes y gallardÃas desbordadas..., y la puta necesidad de encajar... .
Buenos Aires, 2 de abril de 1982. Los argentinos amanecen con una novedad mayúscula: « Recuperamos las Malvinas! . Y asà comienzan tres meses inolvidables, tres meses en que aquellas islas de los mapas escolares se vuelven eleje de la conmoción social, tres meses en que los protagonistas de esta historia pasarán de la euforia a la desolación. Y comienza también la pesadilla para las familias de Carlitos, Antonio y el Conejo, soldados conscriptos clase 1962 recién licenciados, que son reincorporados y enviados a pelear. A miles de kilómetros del escenario del conflicto, en medio de la desinformación y la publicidad engañosa, la guerra contra los ingleses es una abstracción, un relato borroso y escurridizo que cada quien puebla con sus propias fantasÃas y preconceptos. Unidos o enfrentados, lúcidos u obnubilados, los personajes de este gran fresco de Eduardo Sacheri atravesarán, junto con los lectores, este periodo vertiginoso, contradictorio y plagado de significados de la historia argentina reciente. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ...that crazy May that ends tonight, a burning hot nail made of bombastic announcements and flamboyant headlines and overwhelming gallantry... and the fucking need to fit in... Buenos Aires, April 2nd, 1982. Argentinians wake up to a massive novelty: We got the Falklands back! And thus begin three unforgettable months, three months in which these islands in school maps become the axis of social commotion; three months in which the protagonists of this story will go from euphoria to despair. And also begins the nightmare for the families of Carlitos, Antonio, and the Rabbit, conscript soldiers class 1962, recent graduates, reinstated and sent to fight. Thousands of miles away from the conflict scene, amidst disinformation and misleading publicity, war against the English is an abstraction, a blurry and elusive tale that each person fills with their own fantasies and preconceptions. United or confronted, lucid or obnubilated, the characters in this great fresco by Eduardo Sacheri will, along with the reader, go through this dizzying, contradictory period of time, plagued by the meaning of recent Argentinian history.
